I was trying to calibrate the frequency on my K2/100 and noticed that the received beat frequency changed when attaching the top cover (the KPA100 option). After putting the mounting screws back in, I noticed the frequency will again change when squeezing the top and bottom covers towards each other with my fingers. The change is about 50 to 100 Hz or so.

Is this normal? Somewhat I don't think so, but hadn't paid attention before. I've been monitoring WWV on 10 MHz in CW mode beating against the spot tone. There is constant carrier to beat against, and I that's how I noticed the beat frequency changed.

In the meanwhile I will tighten everything  down again.
